How the payment is worked out

A level payment loan has a neat rule behind it. Each month the interest is the balance times 0.4167 percent. The payment is set so that after 120 months the balance lands exactly at zero. Solving for it on $750,000 gives the loan times the monthly rate, divided by one minus one over one plus the monthly rate raised to the power of 120.

Worked example

Say you borrow $750,000 at 5 percent for 10 years. The payment is $7,954.91 a month. In month one, $3,125.00 pays interest and $4,829.91 reduces the balance.

Part of the way through, after 5 years, the balance is still $421,536. That is 56 percent of the original loan. Early payments mostly cover interest.

Questions about this calculator

Is 10 years the right length for a $750,000 mortgage?

It depends on the monthly payment you can carry. At 5 percent this term costs $7,954.91 a month. A 30-year term would cost $4,026.16 a month and $699,418 in interest, compared with $204,590 over 10 years.

Does the $7,954.91 payment cover property tax and insurance?

No. The $7,954.91 covers principal and interest only. Tax, insurance and any mortgage insurance would sit on top of it.

Is it better to put extra money toward a $750,000 mortgage over 10 years or save it elsewhere?

The calculator can only show what extra payments do. On this loan an extra $800 a month saves $24,941 of interest and ends the loan 1 year 1 month sooner. Whether that beats saving or investing the money depends on your other goals and on what you could earn elsewhere.

What if the rate on a $750,000 mortgage over 10 years were one point higher?

The payment would rise from $7,954.91 to $8,326.54, which is $371.62 more each month. One point lower would give $7,593.39.
